Why Should My Child Read This Book?
This author’s debut book earns our Gold Star for the deep and profound relationship with God that is at the center of this heartwarming tale. Through immense trials with his family, the father is kept grounded through his faith and his consistent habit of prayer. The book weaves in many virtues as an anecdote to the excess and vice of modern society. The children learn from their father how to act with adab (appropriate respect and comportment) toward guests and figures of authority alike. The children learn that pride and arrogance can lead to man’s downfall from which there may not be a return. They also learn how fickle the public can be when it comes to “fame.” They ultimately understand from their father that every person, even loved ones, must face the consequences of their actions.
Note: Although this book has many yellow flags, we believe it’s still a book worth reading. The characters embody many virtues, learn from their mistakes, and vices are clearly portrayed as wrong.
